By identifying common beneficial characteristics of accomplished black men, this study analyzed the post-baccalaureate performance of 16 Black male participants. Dr. Furlow carefully considered the need to train faculty in the skills Black male students needed to graduate. The target audience for this special research area is those who can help improve services for Black males in higher education and beyond, including educational policy makers, current and future researchers, practitioners, and administrators. Dr. Furlow was fully involved in the research as it developed, combining his own life experience, struggles, and triumphs with his professional studies. This book illuminates the importance of emphasizing positive representation of Black men in graduate education, which is best expressed through personal experiences. By providing institutions and students with a model of tools to help Black men successfully complete their degrees, the results of this study will contribute to an increase in the number of Black men enrolled in graduate programs.ver menos
